a church...

 in Barbados.
You can still see evidence of the fires :(

They commemorate people's memories in such beautiful ways. tomorrow, i'll post photos from the cemetery.

this place really stuck with me.

creepy crawlers

 yeah yeah, cute and innocent til it jumps on you in the wild!!

well, hello slimy creature. whatcha got there?

fear realized

hi,

that's me.

hiking through-  places.

when we fell upon these, erm, fake 

coffins.

Yeah...

so I didn't know that I would get as creeped out as i was...

until...

this moment, when my husband told me to jump in and i had to stick one-crock-ed foot out for peace of mind.

that's not a smile on my face. that's stone cold fear.

scared?

where'd you get those peepers?

hello, big disgusting bug that almost jumped on my face!

thank you for awakening yet another phobia in me, because i didn't have enough issues!

october. creepy= bugs. eew.

anyone ever seen a creeper like this guy?

love me,
the globetrotting gamine

Octoberpalooza

Welcome to 31 days of Octoberpalooza!

(fun fun fun)

So here's what the plan is for this month:

• guest posts
• more harvest activities
• paranormal blurbs
• haunt-y photos and stories
• how pumpkin carving turned out
• what i love the most about October
• what my assistant loves the most about October
• shots from October-past
• and so much more!

This is really my most favorite month. I've been 31 years old for a few days, and my wedding anniversary of 7 years is on its way (8 years in city hall and I am so blessed- I'm the luckiest girl in the world)

Yay Octoberpalooza!

people fear cemeteries...

i don't know why- i never did. My Grandfather passed away, God Rest his Soul, when I was 8 years old so I've spend a LOT of time in cemeteries. I think people fear the unknown, when the fear they should have is living an unfulfilled life.

The photo above was shot in Barbados, is completely untouched, and there's a lot of creepy colorful glares on it.

It's also one of the oldest tombs in the cemetery we'd visited.

inside Witch House/Corwin House

what do you get when you cross

history buffs with travel?

in a word- trouble.

we loved the people

at the Witch House...

they let us wander around

and snap our fun pics...

above are photos of official documents from the 1690s.

cool door that we would like in our homes...

looks like intruders won't ever enter through it!

i don't know what she found..

unless it was gum?

maybe she wanted to measure how tall

the fireplace was?

we both want one.

the fireplace...not the gum!!

salem, we love thee.

love me,

the globetrotting gamine

ps- if anyone at the witch house needs me to volunteer there

or write about them...

please let me know!
